It sounds like the new "Garbage First" collector might be closer to these goals than the older HotSpot JVM collectors:
http://labs.oracle.com/jtech/pubs/04-g1-paper-ismm.pdf
It was built with different goals, but the end result is that it (can) focus on collecting garbage while its young.
The paper was written a few years before the first version shipped, so I'm not sure how the implementation differs.
Although it looks like the young-generation collections pause for quite a bit longer than 10us, and if I'm reading the paper correctly don't necessarily collect the entire young generation.
